Notre Dame was one of the first to just say screw the conferences, we are special, and we will make our our contracts for TV coverage. For years, they were on TV every stinking weekend, and the local teams were on pay per view or had no coverage at all. Notre Dame became a hated team in many parts of the country as no one cared about them and they wanted to see a local school play.

Then other teams decided to try to go off with their own deals. It is all a chase for more money for the schools. No real fan wants to see a big powerhouse team play some team that has no real chance to win. The tiny teams just take the loss and huge paycheck, and the dream of a possible rare upset.

I gave up watching football when I finally figured out the only thing the schools care about is the money. The education of the players is totally ignored. If someone can run really fast and catch a ball, they can graduate and be illiterate. No one should be allowed to play if they can't maintain a C average. It is college, not a farm team. But I don't ever expect to see a change as the money just gets to be more and more. I will not watch pro ball until the start arresting the violent criminals they have now.
